Who will benefit from CAN-RCAN-R is a useful tool for researchers, medical care providers, and the media in understanding the rise of antimicrobial resistance in Canada and how it is being managed. New Study Now Available: SAVE 2016 In 2011, CARA, the University of Manitoba, and the National Microbiology Laboratory began a collaboration to assess changes in antimicrobial resistance patterns of S. pneumoniae serotypes annually, as part of the SAVE (Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotyping and Antimicrobial Susceptibility: Assessment for Vaccine Efficacy in Canada After the Introduction of PCV-13) study. The data collected from the SAVE study are NOW AVAILABLE as an interactive experience. Antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance data can be reviewed by serotype, patient age or a combination of the two parameters. |
